A system, which is real-time, remote, automatic for monitoring the subsidence of building, is introduced. Hydrostatic leveling, displacement sensing by electromagnetism, GPRS wireless communication and computer technology are integrated into the system. The system has the following functions: real-time, continuous acquisition and management of the monitored data; automatic computation and analysis of the subsidence; remote, wireless release of information and early-warning. Applied successfully to monitor the subsidence of the main building of Tianjin West Railway Station in its integral moving, the system has taken the key directive effect in adjusting the schedule and the methods of construction timely.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
